Notice the air brush holder. how simple is that?

Great model. And I like the "build what I want" kind of deal. And I do concider you a model builder. All Drama aside. it turned out great. My only question is when do you sleep? I know how time comsuming a build like this is.....Looking forward to seeing you next April for the Cactus Contest.

.....i lilke the way this is truning out....

did a little work on the 50 ford. reworked the front end to match the truck im building using a pattern I cut out the grill opening used the 57 Ford custom head lights, and will use the custom tail lights too

looking forward to seeing this.....I like what I see so far...

Made little progress these last few weeks. Seems life gets in the way of my modeling.... hooked up the linkage. gas lines hooked up

DAY AFTER TOMORROW??..HELP MR WIZARD....just bought the paint today

The wood is a thin veneer, for counter tops and edge trim. Home Depot has it. the strips are a brass square tub, that I cut in half, to make a c channe. only thing I could find. its all glued to a sheet plastic the size of the bed. My first try at this, and a lot of work fitting it all together.

Saw these photos of a Ford truck and matching trailer and said I have to build that, so bought this "glue" bomb at a swap meet, (Sorry but did not take a before photo) stripped it down and started chopping the top and getting it down on the ground. The old AMT NASCAR kits are a good source for front and rear end parts. The trailer will be mostly scratch built with the old "Tilt" trailer that came in the old Chevy Caprice kit, as the base, and with sheet plastic for the body....stay tuned.

Its not to late to glue it all back together!!! but its your creation. Now I do like the seat.... We all have our what if's

Doing the same thing to my bed on a 50 Ford F-1 except I cut the wood into planks with about a 1/16 inch between and than Im adding plastic strips, that I will bare foil. Like the look of what you got going there.

Almost a shame to cover it in paint!! Chuck said it all WOW....!

Looking for who makes this tool for sanding the tread on tires, or removing the molding line, kind of looks like this crude drwing. you chuck it up in a drill.

all I can say is..WOW

would like to add an Avatar, but have problems, OK read that challanges

I did think of adding some "landmines".......But as they say, is it ever finished??? Working on the chassis for the midget body, hanging in the rafters of the office, that will be sitting in the corner of the yard in the weeds.

looks like old Foo Foo has his eye on something Oh I see now...an intruder has entered.....check out the gauge on the old chevy truck...! Ive been looking for one of those

need to hide the wires for the lights, they do work by the way but were installe after the fact.

thanks for the kind words. Will put it on the Project display table at the April 16th DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 7.... (Postal Workers Union Hall, 3720 W. Greenway Road, Phx. for the local boys and girls) So come on out if you can.....

Your right need more parts laying around, but that is planned. I have added a Coke Mechine, by the office.I also need a cash regester for the ofice Also I am adding on to the yard, and The back lot will have a outhouse, and dog house for the junk yard dog, a lot mor cars, a pile of enging blocks. a lot more weeds. I didnt have time to do all i wanted to do as I was getting ready for a contest last November. So I entered it as it was and got best of show. I will update it soon. Thanks for the tips.
